Re: F-104 Beervelde - Belgium.

Well, in July 2009 it was still there on top of its container. It is located at a yard containing lots of containers and other heavy equipment. The yard is located between the Raveschoot and the E17 highway, just NE of exit 11 off the E17. if you use Google maps you can see it next to the right-hand...

Re: Beech-SFERMA 60 at Montélimar - Ancone

Just checked the French civil aviation register; apparently F-BLLR (c/n 12) is still operational out of Caen. For the rest they only mention F-BLLY/18; that one belonged to Aero Impex but was broken up in 1983. just been looking a bit further; according to Aviafrance it must have been 18... (look ou...

Re: Beech-SFERMA 60 at Montélimar - Ancone

All I know is that the Beech/SFERMA 60 was a conversion by SFERMA of the Beech Baron. The conversion consisted of re-engining the Baron with Astazou turboprops. It was also known as the Marquis; AFAIK 14 aircraft were "produced" between 1960 and 1962. Most registrations appear to have been in the F-...

Re: EHAM 18-05-2010

@rene: yeah, I know. What I meant was that we don't normally see them (or any Northwest eeehhh Delta aircraft) over Almere. They tend to stay to the west of us... that's why I (still) would like to know which one it was...

Re: EHAM 18-05-2010

If I'm not mistaken, there was a Delta B767 low overhead Almere heading towards you around 0850lt. We don't see them that often over here.. which one was it please?

EBBR 15-05-2010 CIV

Hi there, spent an agreeable morning in the 25L approach (was there for the first time in years); as a result of this I have a lot of "blanks" on departing aircraft, which can of course be seen taking off from 25R but not logged. Could anyone (Robin?) help me with the following: JAI A330's departing...

Re: Hamburg 12-05 (UEFA European League Finale + Canforces)

Wow... impressive line-up you got there... and well done given the circumstances. Too bad about the drizzle and lack of sunshine but, then again, no backlight either! Thanks for sharing

Re: french Ouragans

Oh well, let's say we apparently share an interest in the AdlA (in my case, mostly the post-1945 part) and its aircraft. I'm happy the information was helpful. PS: the series "Les matériels... etc" is well worth the buy, especially if you don't mind reading French, as it is relatively cheap and has ...

Re: french Ouragans

Checked the book "Les Matériels de l'Armée de l'Air, tome 1, MD450 Ouragan" (Sébastien Guillemin, uitg: Histoire & Collections) and this leads to the following: prototypes: 01, 02, 03 preserie: 1,2,3,4*,5,6,7,8,9,10,11**,12,13***,14**** (all carried reg on tail and nose except 13, 14) *: strictly no...

Re: KLM kleuren in de toekomst?

Ja, maar dat ligt anders: dat zijn allemaal Amerikaanse maatschappijen. In de daarboven gemeldde gevallen gaat het om carriers van verschillende nationaliteiten, en dat ligt een stuk gevoeliger. KLM (Swiss, Brussels, Austrian, etc) is "van ons", ook al is de eigenaar "een buitenlander". Nationale tr...

@frank: True of course. But will it be on the same platform (Tornado)? Not necessarily, obviously. Given the fact that the Typhoon now has bomber capabilities, that the new Tornado recce pod (RAPTOR) is currently also being integrated on Polish AF F-16's and that Sniper pods are also used for both ...

Re: 2 more fighter bases will be closed soon

There is of course a difference between axing bases and axing roles. Roles can be transferred to other wings. That would still make a base closure possible while keeping the role.
